Water Lewis Structure Polarity. Because the oxygen atom is more electronnegative compared to the hydrogen atom it has a greater attraction to the electrons in the o h bond. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen on side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule.
To determine if this molecule is polar we draw the molecular structure. The bond moments cancel because they are pointed in opposite directions. The lewis structure for water.
From the lewis structure and using vsepr theory we determine that the co 2 molecule is linear with polar c o bonds on opposite sides of the carbon atom.
The c o bond is considerably polar. The ocs molecule has a structure similar to co 2 but a sulfur atom has replaced one of the oxygen atoms. Because the oxygen atom is more electronnegative compared to the hydrogen atom it has a greater attraction to the electrons in the o h bond. To determine if this molecule is polar we draw the molecular structure.
